So, as the trial has been and gone, we are all glad that Helen won, and Rob had his true self revealed, will the rift 'tween Adam & Ian be healed?

Whose jam will be judged to be the best? Will Joe approach his final rest?

Will Grange Farm rent be paid on time?

Can I be arsed inspired to write more drivel rhyme?

Away we go!

Will Pip be saying goodbye to her £5,000 or will Toby prove us all wrong? Mmmm I wonder....

Rob and Toby have stopped me from listening to the omnibus, I used to leave it on although I'd usually heard all it during the week. Now I shudder and turn to 4Xtra, R3, Classic FM or something local. I just don't want hear either of the disfunctional insensitive dolts a second time.

Peggy thinks it would be best if Rob disappeared. Is she part of the Mafia??

AyjayF Sun 11-Dec-16 19:59:25

Peggy strikes again!

Thanks Nellie and everyone. It's all much clearer now.

AyjayF Sun 11-Dec-16 12:22:25

Long to get some of the other characters back in. Jolene, Nic, William, Ed, etc and I can never get enough of the lovely Ian.

Towbeee and Pip make me want to stamp on the radio but I like the relationship between Toby and Kenton. I hope the SWs develop this further.

Nice to have a bit of blokey fun for a change. I'm getting fed up with Rob/Roy grin

AyjayF Sun 11-Dec-16 10:47:50

I'm afraid you might be suzied

Luckygirl Sat 10-Dec-16 22:47:39

Ah - I was wrong - I had Elizabeth impregnated by the wrong person - oops!

suzied Sat 10-Dec-16 22:02:44

Am I the only one who's feeling a bit sorry for Toby?

My little toddler DGS is quite near the floor.

Shysal don't discourage me when it comes to cleaning I need some reason not to be a total slut. wink

shysal Sat 10-Dec-16 16:36:26

Deep Christmas cleaning??? Never crossed my mind to do such a thing! Are you having people to stay? I hope you manage to get OH off his a*se! Perhaps you will be too busy to cook for him tchwink

Nelliemoser Sat 10-Dec-16 16:02:20

Does this help?

I am sitting here fuming because OH CBA to use the carpet shampoo machine and wandered off to the shop after faffing about all morning. He is physically fit just can't cope with being asked to do something. I have been deep Christmas cleaning the house for the last few days.

"Handsome Cameron Fraser bought the Berrow Estate in Ambridge in 1990, immediately becoming the largest landowner in the area. At first this plausible Scot appeared charming, but he soon showed his arrogance and impatience with those who had to work for him."

It does not appear to have been Toby Fairweathers dad at all. It was A business man Cameron Fraser who was two timing Elizabeth with Caroline Bone. now Sterling.
I think I am missing something here. Unless I have got something wrong why did Jill take so badly to The Fairbrothers? We need some older Archers addicts than me to get this.

Nelliemoser Sat 10-Dec-16 15:39:07

Oh dear! Some of us on here have been listening for far too long. grin Elizabeth's illegitimate pregnancy was in 1992. (I had to look I am not that addicted!)

aggie Fri 09-Dec-16 19:11:16

Elizabeth had a termination , at the same time Shulagh was trying to get pregnant

Lazigirl Fri 09-Dec-16 19:04:51

Was Elizabeth actually pregnant? I thought he just left her at a ? Motorway service station but memory is a bit hazy. I think there will be drama featuring Rob around Christmas - they do have previous for it eg Nigel......Wonder who will be the casualty?

Luckygirl Fri 09-Dec-16 11:44:20

Toby's father impregnated a young Elizabeth, who went on to have a termination.

shysal Fri 09-Dec-16 10:15:07

Did anyone see the flavoured gins being made on The Apprentice? I have seen other TV programmes which mention them. Perhaps there is a business opportunity there, but sadly not for Toby who will never stick at anything for long!

merlotgran Fri 09-Dec-16 10:02:56

I think that's right, Daphne. Jill always had a thing about having to live up to Grace in Phil's eyes that's why she is so wistful about Hollowtree which was their first marital home. Robin Fairbrother (Toby's father) was a love rat who let Elizabeth down but I wasn't listening during that time so not sure of all the facts.

I do think Jill could use a few lessons from us in how to keep it zipped at crucial times like Christmas. David clearly dislikes Toby but is doing his best to keep the peace.

Put your wooden spoon away, Jill.

DaphneBroon Fri 09-Dec-16 07:23:38

Grace Archer was a Fairbrother and I think it was Toby's dad who treated Elizabeth badly, but I do not know the exact relationships.
Can anyone help?

AyjayF Fri 09-Dec-16 07:19:12

Do we think Rob has already decorated ' his boys' rooms in suitably boarding school chic?
Maybe he'll be sitting in the flat like Miss Haversham waiting for them to arrive.

NfkDumpling Fri 09-Dec-16 07:08:28

Of course Toby will appear for Christmas dinner. That's the big Christmas Day fiasco. But before then we have the anticipation of Rob coming to the Nativity with an enormous present.

Has it actually been explained why Jill is so anti Toby? I think it's something to do with Grace Archer but my memory doesn't go back that far - I have problems with last week.

suzied Fri 09-Dec-16 06:38:47

I meant to say Pip will invite Toby for Christmas.
